Help!
My brand new Panasonic DMR 55 will only do 16:9 recordings on dvd ram media not on dvd-r. This is not good. Is this the case with most other dvd recorders?
Can you record 16:9 on dvd+r/rw?
Can you record 16:9 on dvd-r/rw on other recorders?
I need some answers because I may take the panny DMR 55 back because of this.
